Looking for places to hunt around Cannon Ball? A useful Sioux County hunting map combines two sources: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this Sioux County guide: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Building your Sioux County hunting map
If you're looking near Fort Yates, North Dakota Game and Fish Department publishes the public-land maps, with rules that vary by area.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Sioux County Portico map; it covers each assessed parcel around Porcupine and Cedar Creek. For property near Cannon Ball, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a tract near Lake Oahe, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Private land and parcel lines
For private ground, the Sioux County Portico map is the free source, with owner names for tracts near Lake Oahe.
Next door to Sioux County
Sioux County meets Adams County, Emmons County, Grant County, Morton County, and Corson County, SD, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Lake Oahe that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so check the adjacent map too. If you're looking near Cannon Ball, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for North Dakota.
Safety and courtesy
Respect livestock and crops around Porcupine, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Selfridge, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Lake Oahe with its ID keeps working without signal.
Contacting owners
Use the owner name and mailing address on the record for a tract near Lake Oahe; a polite letter or visit before the season works best.
Staying legal
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules for land around Solen.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, and that holds around Missouri River too. Long-held tracts around Cedar Creek may go back through several deeds, and a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Lake Oahe, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Legal descriptions in North Dakota
North Dakota follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Porcupine reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Porcupine vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Lake Oahe before you request a deed or survey.
A quick look at the area
Fort Yates is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Selfridge, Solen, Cannon Ball, and Porcupine, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 3,643 people live in Sioux County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 1,094 square miles. The county was formed in 1914, and some chains of title near Cedar Creek are long. Landmarks such as Cedar Creek, Missouri River, and Cedar River National Grassland are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Getting answers from the right desk
Anything recorded against property around Cedar Creek come from the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Missouri River are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Fort Yates. If you're looking near Selfridge, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
